Now I'm letting the professionals take over. Progress pics of the roof and stucco process. My stucco guy used my garage to make a pretty cool how-to video of lathing: Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

I'm paying another friend of friend labor to put on the tile roof. The guys got the roof papered and batted just before we got our first rains, the week of Thanksgiving. I cut (4) 36X48 and (4) 36X12 window openings and my man door with a router. This is one of the coolest, most time saving...

Thanks for the feedback guys! I think I'll just let the roofer do his thing and worry about the mounting later, as soome have suggested. I'll try to follow the example of my solar contractor used 5 years ago when he installed. Ard: I've only got a 1/3 of an acre. I don't want to waste any prime...

Truss delivery and install: It was a tight squeeze getting the delivery truck through my gate to deliver the engineered trusses. I got half the trusses raised on a Sunday, it took me and my buddies a little extra time to figure out how to do it right. The next day I raised everything but the...

Hi ya'll, I've been posting updates on my detached garage build and I'm at the point where the roof is getting put on soon, hinging on a few days on dry weather. I need to make a decision soon regarding the pre-planning of my roof and (future) solar panel mounting. My roof is a 12:5 and it will...

Thanks J-man!

So about a year ago I found this forum and made my first post about building my bucket-list garage/ man cave/ retreat/ dog house/ future Jeep home. I've always wanted to build/ modify a Jeep to take on the Rubicon and other off-road adventures in Northern California, Nevada, and Oregon. My plan...

Toothaker & oldwino: I plan on documenting both, but the Rubicon probably won't happen for at least a few years. I actually documented my pool build in time-lapse video. It came out pretty awesome, if I don't say so myself!
